Installing the hammer and hammer springs on the Steyr GB can be challenging because each hammer spring must be wound and its fixed (hooked) end inserted into a cavity in the underside of the sear (Figure 1). This can be done using some thin steel wire, a hook tool or dental pick, and a flat...

Hi folks, brand new to the club but I've been trying to track down a M9-A1 for a little while now and have a question. The pistol I'm considering appears to be a Gen2? M9-A1 model with date stamp: P0Y, I believe if I've read that right it would be an August 2007 production date. Here's a pic...

Hello, I have a Steyr M9a1 with the date code IOW (Sept. 2010). I have not shot the pistol much but my friend is going to use it for a multi-day handgun course. Is there any way to tell if my gun has the updated extractor? I would just hate for it to be a problem mid-course. I am also...

I recently purchased a new model M9-A1 and was curious to see if there were any significant changes made from the previous models. I previously owned an older steyr that was just badged as an M9 with no further designations. Keep in mind I had no issues with the previous pistol and was actually...

Hello, First let me say your community here has already been a treasure trove of info for me in selecting and purchasing my new S9-A1. I love my Ruger LCP and Sig P290RS, but after shooting my brother's old trusty M9-A1 for the umpteenth time, I decided to make the hour and forty five minute...

I recently purchased a M40-A1. I had a choice of either the M40 or the M40-A1. I went with the A1 because it was newer and held 12 rounds. I thought all A1's were made after 2010 but after reading on this forum I am finding out that this is not true. Is there a place to look up my serial # and...

Hi all! I've been a lurker here for about a week trying to learn all I could about these awesome guns and thanks to everyone's input and information they've posted, I went on the hunt just to see if it was a viable option to carry. After calling about every shop in town, I found one that had a...

Hi all, So I'm new to the Steyr world. I think the designs are really neat. I've been thinking about a 40SW as with the current craziness I have a hard time finding 9mm and 45ACP but 40SW is everywhere. A local LGS has a Stey M40-A1 with SOM date code, so 2005? Gun is in good shape and comes...

Since I know there are lots of CZ fans on this board - I just purchased a new Sarsilmaz K2. Quick description - .45 ACP, 14+1, DA/SA, steel frame, 4.5" barrel, 40 oz, with rail, Turkish made - looks like the Turks are putting out some nice stuff - and under $500. Wonderful gun - may have the...

Greetings- Most photos depicting new S40-A1's show the "CWO" date code - October 2010. Any newer codes out there? No real important reason to know - mere curiosity my only driving force. Would not mind having a CWO S40, though. Military designation, eh? Thanks&Cheers.

After two range trips with my S9-A1 I'm still a bit perplexed about the sight picture. I've been following this diagram: http://www.steyrclub.com/vb/threads/4904-Steyr-Trap-Sights-Guide but I'm still shooting high. My question is when you are looking at the front sight do you see any of the...

Does this "RAS" just refer to he post-2010 pistols (m/c/s -a1) with the roll pin under the rear sight or is it a newer update on those guns. I am basically concerned about ordering a most current gun with the revised extractor and trigger from a reliable source( nobody seems to have an m9- a1 in...

Greetings, Am looking at purchasing a used S40-A1 with a Oct. 2010 production date. Have read of some minor ejection(?) problems on these pistols, and wondering if there is any significant changes/improvements on a current model over a 2010 edition. This purchase will be my first Steyr...

Greetings, Want to find the production date of an S40-A1; serial number 3021331. Can, of course, phone Alabama, but hoping someone could point me in the right direction to obtain this info. Thanks in advance.

I hope everyone is well. I just purchased a new S9-A1 from a local dealer and from what I can tell, the serial number does not fall into the recall and, I believe, was manufactured in 2011 (VWO). I am just looking for any tips anyone can forward along that will help me get more acquainted to my...

I picked this gun up in 2010, put 100 rounds through it, and it's been in my carry rotation ever since. I generally shoot one magazine through the gun every time I go to the range just to keep familiar with the gun but I don't particularly enjoy shooting it like I do my larger framed guns...

Just picked up my new to me (used) M40-A1. Love the looks, sights, feel. Gave it a thorough cleaning when I got home. I noticed that when I rack the slide and don't let it slam back, it remains partially out of battery and I have to push the slide forward about an 1/8". Is this normal? I can see...

Made up a few like this. Derpaderalerp.

Hey everyone! I am considering working up a prototype magazine extension for the new 17 round Steyr magazines, conceptually similar to what Arredondo already makes for Glock, that would bring the total capacity to around 20-21+ rounds. I figure that the largest market is the membership on this...
